Between 1717 and 1723 Johann Sebastian Bach composed Six Suites for Violoncello (BWV 1007 ??? BWV 1012). Of these the first three have been transcribed for bass guitar in this coursebook which in itself is a considerable amount of work. Between 1717 and 1723 Johann Sebastian Bach composed Six Suites for Violoncello (BWV1007-BWV1012). Of these the first three have been transcribed for Bass Guitar in this coursebook which in itself is a considerable amount of work. For bassists these compositions are a real challenge - a challenge however that brings with it a lot of benefits. Because once you get to know them you get hooked on them and by playing them you'll be able to considerably refine your playing technique. But believe me the pieces are so gripping that you'll barely notice the effort. Every suite presented in this coursebook comprises six movements. The first of these isalways a prelude followed by five dances. The CD attached to the coursebook presents every single one of the 18 movements in its full length in order to help you interpret them flawlessly.

Transcribed For Solo Electric Bass. Par BACH JOHANN SEBASTIAN. While many electric bassists study the Bach cello suites at some point, fewer attempt the sonatas and partitas for un- accompanied violin (BWV 1001-1006). Composed around 1720, the sonatas and partitas display rich polyphonic writing, unlike the simpler monophonic cello suites. This collection features a challenging but rewarding transcription of the complete A minor Violin Sonata (BWV 1002), which fits particularly well on the bass. Also included are the well-known gavotte en rondeau from the E major violin partita (BWV1006) and the complete A minor partita for solo flute (BWV 1013), transposed here to D minor. Finally, an arrangement of the familiar chorale Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring (from BWV 147) takes advantage of the bass's natural and artificial harmonics. Performance notes are included. Written in notation and tablature for the 4-string electric bass. / Niveau : Intermédiaire / Baroque - Solos / Tablatures / Guitare Basse Tablatures
